CoolPix 5000 "OUT OF MEMORY" message that we can't figure out

\015 We were given the camera as a "gift" to use as a back up. We put a new SanDisk 4 GB Ultra II memory card. We formatted the disk. The camera says that the it is "OUT OF MEMORY" Any ideas?\015

Answers :

At 4GB size, your memory card is likely a SDHC card, and not a standard SD card. Although they look the same, there is a difference in formatting. Unfortunately your model camera was designed before the SDHC format came out, and it will not work with your camera. But fortunately standard SD cards are very inexpensive these days, and you should be able to purchase a good 2GB standard card for around $6 with shipping:\015\012\015\012http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=sd+card+2gb&x=23&y=20

I have a Nikon Coolpix L14 and all of a sudden, when I turn it on, the lens moves in and out while making a strange noise until a "Lens Error" message comes on the screen. I tried replacing the batteries, turning it off and on, taking out the memory card, and cleaning the lens. The first time I replaced the batteries, it worked...until the next time I used it and the screen was completely blurred. Then, I had the original problem with the "Lens Error" message. I really don't think it is a conde

I was brought a coolpix Nikon camaera at the end of March and after buying the correct memory card for it, I always get an error message saying that this card can not be used. I therefore checked that this is the correct card and have been assured that the card should work.
Along side this is the fact that the memory card will not stay in the camera without being held in.

Sir did you check you manual for compatibility of your memory card? try to ask the person or the shop were you bought your camera for the right compatibility of your memory card aside from this, ask also the seller of your new memory card about what ...

My Kodak Easyshare V1233 comes on stating "Interna; Memory Filled" I went in and cleaned it. But it seems like I only get 5 pictures that I can take after that. I take the five (the number in the corner states 5 as it goes down to 0 as I take the five shots???? Then I get the Internal Memory Filled message again??? What is going on??? Please help, Pattie

The V1233 has 32MB of internal memory. At 12MP, each image file is probably about 5 or 6MB in size. 32MB of memory will only hold 5 6MB files.\012\012\012To take more pictures, insert a memory card into the card slot. ...

Nikon coolpix s1. Camera displays message : "this card cannot be used" with no memory card. and then no buttons work. With the memory card installed no photos can be save and error: Card cannot be read. I was thinking it might be a firmware problem, I would like some idea before I send it off to be repaired?

Its possible that the internal memory is busted. The solution for this is... Buy a memory card, memory cards are cheap nowadays. If using a memory card still doesn't help. You might want to just get yourself a new camera because you probably wouldn't ...

CANT WRITE TO UNLOCKED SD CARD I've tried repeatedly to write files to various sd memory cards in my ZS1 and it always gives me the message that the card is locked and can't be written. The cards are UNlocked physically, and I have no trouble writing to them when they are inside other cameras (Canon & Fuji). Is this a defect of the Panasonic or is it fixable?

Are you sure that the lock / unlock tab isn't getting moved to the lock position when inserted AND then moved back to the unlock position when removed? Stranger things have happened. Some cards have lock / unlock tabs that are so flimsy ...
